such events as Homecoming and

of seminary student participation
in Student Association activities
and a lack of interest in the busi-ness

Such a separation would involve

BARC Work
Dedicated At
Chapel, Mon.
,Bethel's ham radio statical,
KOACY, will be dedicated during
chapel Monday, Feb. 16. Since
September the station has been in
operation.
The plan concerning the equip-ment
was to complete a one kilo-watt
amateur radio station. So
far a receiver, two transmitters,
a rotating beam antenna, and a
single side band adapter have
been purchased. Much of this
equipment has been assembled by
club members.
Financing of the equipment has
been made possible through pledges
of club members and several an-onymous
gifts in the form of cash
and radio parts by interested
members of the Baptist General
Conference. These contributions
have now nearly reached the $1,000
mark.
Future plan for equipment is
to include a 1,000 watt linear am-plifier
which, when installed, will
allow contact with foreign stations.
This will enable Bethel to keep in
close contact with foreign mission-aries.
But the construction of an ama-teur
radio station is not the main
objective of the Bethel Amateur
Radio club (BARC). The foremost
purpose is to provide Bethel col-lege
with a missions outreach via
the channels of amateur radio, ac-cording
to Francis Wheeler, fac-ulty
adviser. Objectives are:
To become a part of the Mis-sionary
Communications Service
MCS), a group of Christian radio?
amateurs that exchange and handle
missionary messages. When the
five young missionaries died by
Auca lance wounds in the jungles
of Ecuador, the MOS was on duty
to aid search parties. Contact into
this net is established regularly
on weekdays at 12:30. (Visitors
are welcome to come and observe
station operations at this time, Mr.
Wheeler said.)
To establish a training program
for all members who have not al-ready
obtained the amateur lic-ense.
This includes training in the
International Morse Code and in
the radio theory. A new training
class is being planned for the
spring semester.
To provide the means by which
BARC members can engage in
Christian service activities within
the college. These projects include
work with the public address sys-tems
both in the chapel and the
fieldhouse and recording foreign
broadcasts on magnetic tape for
the language department.

The white of winter moonlight
. . . the freshness of new snow
. . . the soft neighing of the
horse .. . the gay jingle of sleigh
bells . . . these form a part of
winter magic. These contribute to
your picture of a perfect sleigh
ride.
To celebrate Valentine's day this
year, the social council has plan-ned
a sleigh ride at Eaton's ranch,
Cedar avenue South, Rosemont,
for Friday night, Feb. 13. That
night transportation will leave
Bodien residence at 7 o'clock.
After the sleighride everyone
will gather inside the barn for hot
chocolate. Cost will be 75 cents
per person.
To get to Eaton's ranch take
Snelling avenue to Mendota bridge,
turn right on 13, go to Cedar ave-nue,
turn left at Eaton's church.
In the immortal words of Dick
Bogue:
John F. Anderson, seminary jun-ior
and chairman of the committee
for study of the seminary-college
student association relationship,
brought a recommendation to the
Senate on Jan. 12 that the Bethel
student association be divided into
two separate governmental bodies.
Presently the Student Senate
governs both the college and the
seminary. The Senate accepted
this recommendation and made a
motion that this be voted upon by
the entire student body before
March 1.
Everyone in the college and sem-inary
will have an opportunity to
vote on this matter which will
take place tentatively on Feb. 27.
During their study, the com-mittee
found the following rea-sons
why there should be a divi-sion:
a large majority of the stu-dents
contacted favored such a
division; the interests of the stu-dents
in college and seminary dif-

Six seminary students are listed
on the "A" honor roll for the fall
quarter 1958-59. These students
are Richard Ottoson and Ronald
Palosaari, seniors; Nils Friberg,
Robert Frykholm, and Linden Mag-nuson,
middlemen; and George
Dvirnak, junior.
Thirty-two seminarians are list-ed
on the "B" honor roll for this
same quarter. Eleven seniors, ten
middlemen, and eleven juniors are

"The Christian in an Anxious
World" is the theme of Founder's
Week, Feb. 16-20. Main speakers
will be James Forrester, vice-presi-dent
of Whitworth college; Rev.
Robert Boyd Munger, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of
Berkeley, Cal.; and Dr. Kyle M.
Yates, professor of religion at
Baylor university.
Ellis Eklof, Sr., pastor of Temple
Baptist church in Portland, Ore.,
will be the speaker at the Histori-cal
Buffet Banquet on Monday
night. This annual event is the
first gathering of Founders Week
guests and the Bethel faculty and
student body.
Each evening at 7:30 there will
be a rally in the fieldhouse. Tues-day
Rev. Munger will be speaking
and the Male chorus will provide
special music. "Christ's Change-less
Challenge" will be the topic
of Dr. Yates' message Wednes-vision,
financial policy, admini-strative
relations and actual pro-ceedings
for the change.
If this vote should affirm a
split, there would be several dif-ferent
possibilities for the Stialedit
Association. These possibilities will
be discussed at a forum to be held
previous to the vote and in spe-cial
chapel sessions.
Students in the class were: Bar-bara
Anderson, Lois Brown, Susan
Buckbee, Bob Friederichsen, Del-rene
Hanni, Carl Linden, Curt
Lund, Ronald Simonton, and Shir-ley
Wall.
One of the problems was to use
textures from nature; they were
to be pasted on a large board. The
day evening. The Festival choir
will sing during this session.
Thursday Mr. Forrester will
speak on the topic "Personal Stress
and a Relevant Gospel." Music
will be provided by the College
choir.
"One Hundred Years with God's
Promises," a Minnesota Baptist
historical pageant, will be pre-sented
on Friday evening. This
play depicts the history of the
Minnesota Conference Baptist
work in various scenes from its
beginning to the present day. The
cast of 136 participants is made
up of members from the various
churches in Minnesota.
Mr. Forrester, a former Air
Force chaplain, will lecture in the
morning, 8:45-9:25, on the subject
"The Christian Ministry to Dis-tressed
People." Each morning he
will present a different view of
this problem.
Rev. Munger will be preaching
at the all-campus worship services
to be held in the fieldhouse.
Dr. Yates will bring a series of
messages on the book of Hosea
during the first afternoon session
each day.
In addition to these sessions,
there will also be elective lectures
each morning and special interest
groups each afternoon.
Thursday afternoon the annual
basketball game between Bethel
and Northwestern will be played.
This game will be held in Bethel's
fieldhouse at 4 o'clock.

Texture
basic idea was touch and see.
Some of the materials used were
leaves, gravel, dirt, flowers, break-fast
food, pins, rubber bands, bur-lap,
bark, sponge, candies, and
wool.
Another problem was to use tex:
tures from magazines of printed
elements. In this problem no feel
at all was to be involved. The stu-dents
chose objects which had
third dimension such as: a string
of pearls, a tassel, a fan, soap
'bubbles, and cherries.
Another of the problems was to
cut photographs of the figure on
a module basis. The class had to
re-arrange the figures in new re-lationships.
The parts were fitted
together to make a new total. They
were closed with the two kinds of
'closure both positive and nega-tive—
either wide apart or lying
next to one another.
,Subject matter of the second
semester is mainly on space, form,
line, and color according to in-structor
Robert Nelson. They hope
to have another display at the end
of the semester.
Common John, who heard
that the student center at Bethel
college had possibilities as the
scene of inexpensive cultural op-portunities
to present in the
"Square Corner," was confronted
by this design display, in itself a
design. John enjoyed inspecting
the work of Robert Nelson's de-sign
students, who have made use
of various and sundry articles of
two and three dimensional form
to solve design problems.

Claude Strudel was excitedly
talking to Thayer Sedgewiek, one
his_inany_ friends, when _Seldon
Artichoke, the other of his many
friends, walked up.
"Wat'dha guys doing," said Sel-don,
who, by virtue of a D— in
English, was destined to leave the
ranks of probation for a job of
$2.74 an hour.
The noise of breaking dishes
added a pleasant background of
music while at the front of the
coffee shop a man with a gray
beard waited for a hamburger
"with." Claude leaned back and
looked at Se/don.
"Seldon, old friend, I have rea-lized
that I am letting the chance
for education slip through my
fingers. I have come to realize the
culprit is the coffee shop. If I
went to class instead of spending
my time here, I, too, would re-ceive
an education.
"The other morning I went to
my eight o'clock class."
"How ghastly!" said Thayer and
Seldon in unison.
"I realized," said Claude," that
the classroom was the place to get
an education. I made a list of the
valuable educational facts learn-ed:
"The Great Pyramid of Gizeh
covers an area of 13 acres and con-tains
2,300,000 blocks of lime-stone.
"Nero was born at Antium on
Dec. 15, A.D. 37. He was named
Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus.
"Nero did not fiddle during the
fire, for the violin had not yet
been invented.
"Charlemagne was born A.D.
742, the son of Pippin the Short
and Bertha the Big Feet.
"Shakespeare's plays were either
written by Shakespeare or another
fellow with the same name.
"On the other hand," said Claude
glancing about significantly, "I
have taken the trouble to list the
insignificant bits of stray infor-mation
that I received in the cof-fee
shop the other day. Anyone
can see how paltry these are com-pared
to class notes.
"There is a little screw to turn
on carburetors that can greatly in-crease
gas mileage and thus save
much money.
"K. C. Cornelius can save me
about $50 on a diamond ring in
case I decide I need the financial
help of a wife to further my edu-cation.
"If a test looms too dangerous-ly,
a cup of very hot coffee taken
before going to the infirmary
should raise your temperature
enough to bring a day's rest there.
by Marvin Anderson
Ashley Montague defines a cul-tured
man by the use he makes of
leisure time. In a Christian cul-ture,
the University becomes an
emporium of leisure where devo-tion
to great ideals is possible. It
centers in a community of scholars
who once more become men of lei-sure
to think and reflect. Apart
from the quest for imaginative
learning, there is no culture, nor
leisure, nor Christian dynamic.
In every discipline of our aca-demic
world, books epitomize our
search for truth. A cultured Chris-tian
is one who has learned to uni-fy
all of life from the books he
may read in his leisure time. Tho-mas
Merton has a trenchant cri-tique
of the pseudo-scholar who
lingers in the "labrythine ways of
his own mind" and the maze of
scholastic pedantry.
Great though books may be,
they are no substitute for persons;
they are only means of contact
with great persons (with men who
had more than their own share of
humanity ...men who were per-sons
...).
Ideas and words are not the
The spirit of the Renaissance is
alive in the Cities in the Cafe
Espresso. Open the door beneath
lantern "18," then push through
the swinging doors in the small
lobby, and enter a dimly lit room.
It's an interesting room — a
cast-iron grill-piece divider at the
end of which stands a Greco-Ro-man
column supporting a statuette
of Hermes forms the entrance to
the 12 tables in the room proper.
Each table holds a low-lit candle.
At the far end as you come in (if
in so compact, a space anywhere
can be called far) stands a high,
short counter where sits the es-presso
coffeemaker.
The art work around the walls
include a Rembrandt: "Man with
the Golden Helmet," a sculptured
head of Medussa, a tapestry de-picting
a scene probably of Venice,
and an early anachronistic illus-tration
from "Illustree," a French
fashion magazine.
Operator of the coffee machine
is Dudley Riggs. He and his wife
Ruth own the Cafe. "Dud," an un-dergraduate
at the University with
majors in theater and speech, un-til
recently traveled with the cir-cus,
doing acrobatics on his 132
foot high pole. With this act he
has performed from coast to coast,
"Political science and history
majors can not expect any good
results from wearing 'I Like Ike'
buttons to class."
Claude paused and looked at the
clock. "Thayer, we have again
missed religious education. Our
passion for the coffee shop will
undo us yet."
"You're right, Claude," said
Thayer. "Let us go and shoot bas-kets.
All work and no play as they
say ..."
"Thayer, I wonder where you get
all your practical knowledge," said
Claude as they prepared to leave.
food of the intelligence but truth—
and not an abstract truth that
feeds the mind alone. The Truth
that a spiritual man seeks is the
whole truth — reality, existence,
and essence together; something
that can be embraced and loved;
something to sustain the homage
and service of our actions: more
than a thing: persons—or a Per-son.

Endless invention, endless ex-periment,

Alaska, and England. He left to
finish college and opened the Cafe
Espresso to fill "a personal need
to keep in contact with things
normal work would prevent."
These "things" are small thea-trical
productions. And this con-stitutes
another Renaissance idea
—during the Renaissance period,
rich cafe owners, in addition to
catering to the nutritive needs of
their clientele, built expensively
decorated theaters and hired per-formers
for their patrons' enter-tainment.
At the Cafe, unknown groups
are given the opportunity to enact
a play or give recitations; un-known
authors and poets are given
a chance to express themselves
(Dud plans to eventually print
local writer's compositions monthly
on the backs of the menus); un-known
or little recognized plays
are presented — such plays as
Shaw's "White Wings" and Eugene
O'Neill's "Great God Brown."
There has been a talk on exis-
Do you have the mid winter
blues like I do ? Every morning
you cringe as you crawl towards
your closet and force yourself to
look in. Strange how those fine
clothes of September can look
shop-worn and shabby by January
and February. You not only won-der
how you can ever create an
ensemble for that day, but you
think with amazement of the fact
that you have found something to
wear this long. Perhaps it will be
of some consolation to you to
learn that psychologists say this
is a very normal thing about this
time of year. Climate has a def-inite
effect on our bodies. Even
though many of us are great fans
of the blustery northern winters
and scream with delight at the
sight of snow, our bodies are un-der
a strain, and we come closer
to fatigue and frustration than at
any other time of the year.
Just because the psychologists
say it's normal doesn't mean It's
our invitation to say, "Thank
goodness, I'm normal," and go on
our grumpy way, hating the way
we look, and making everyone else
miserable by telling them so. Let's
approach our closet with a little
psydholagy of our own. A little
psychology plus a few novel ideas
should give the old clothes some
new personality.
Here's the psychology — jump
out of bed. Run to your closet.
Push back the door, and let the
first start of delight fade into an
apprehensive smile, torn between
the joy at viewing that fabulous
collection of "Dior originals" and
the distress of having to pick one
to wear thereby rejecting all the
others 'til another day. Be brave
at this point. (How confusing for
us that tears can denote joy, or
sadness, or disappointment.)
Perhaps you aren't an advocate
of psychology and though you
want with all sincerity to over-come
this dreaded malady called
mid-winter blues, you see this ap-proach
as not fully practical. Well,
your only salvation lies in the
application of a few pick-me-ups.

This "private Ford Foundation,"
as Dud amusingly sees it, is an
aid to experimental theater that
otherwise would never be recog-nized
locally.
At the present time such enter-tainment
at the cafe is intermit-tent.
However, when the small
theater in the back room is com-pleted
the Riggs plan to have per-formances
every two weeks—pos-sibly
every week. These programs
will be free, but those who wish
to attend must first place reserva-tions.

enough to get my December hint
about a •subscription to a good
fashion magazine for Christmas
(I'm still trying for your birth-day)
I'll tell you what the experts
are advising.
The big thing is a small well-shaped
jacket. This can change a-round
several outfits. Don't for-get
the many different fabrics
these come in and above all re-member
the bright colors—they do
wonders for any outfit and even
more for the morale. Don't get
into a rut as to what goes with
what. If you hit upon an espec-ially
good combination, don't for-get
it, but don't lose your mind
to change abouts. If you have
just a little money to invest, how
about an extra wide belt, a big,
colorful flower, or a flower pin.
(Just a hint—these are the acces-sories
that will bloom this spring.)
Maybe psychology and pick-me-ups
aren't enough to chase away
your mid-winter blues, but I hope
that if you were navy or royal
blue you have faded to a pastel
shade!
The 'Unfortunates':
A Consideration
At the outset of the new semester Bethel is found with some new
faces and without some old faces. This is a semi-annual occurence
and is to be expected. However, this semester is somewhat different.
Several students were told not to return to their studies because they
had not lived up to their requirements as students on academic proba-tion.
The absence of these students is especially noticeable because this
is the mid-year. Such an occurence taking place over the summer vaca-tion
would pass nearly unnoticed except to those close to the students
in question.
Because of the sincerity of a number of these students, their ap-parent
inability has made an impact at Bethel. Concern for one's fellows
makes sympathizing with them fairly easy, and sympathy under the
(right conditions promotes a harsh view of the circumstances which pro-duce
it.
Specifically, those students who recognized a real attempt in the
scholastic realm by some of the "non-returners" might easily criticize
the administration's understanding of the real picture. Such criticism
is the type that is often hastily expressed. Unfavorable impressions
might easily be farmed and allowed to snowball unless certain facts are
clarified.
Exposition of a few situations and purposes might be helpful.
All of the students on academic probation last semester were
warned that they would have to attain a certain grade point average
in order to continue. So, each person was fully aware of his responsibility
to himself. The very purpose of the probation system is to protect the
student by providing him with incentive in the form of warning. When
a person is placed on probation it is to give him a goal to reach as a
step to the eventual 1.0 grade point average necessary for graduation.
A failure to reach one level does not mean that extra effort at a
later time will not compensate, but it does mean that realization of
the final goal will be extremely difficult.
!Therefore, the administration is justified and is even to be com-mended
for its interest in the student. It has not made an attempt to
be "hard" and "cold" and "demanding."
Important to remember are the facts that "such things have hap-pened
before and will no doubt happen again" and do not cast a neces-sarily
unfavorable shadow upon those involved.

Nine barber shop quartets will
be singing in the annual Parade
of Quartets on the University of
Minnesota campus en Sunday, Feb.
15. The concert will be at 3 p.m.
in Northrop Memorial auditorium.
Songs of the Civil War period
will be featured in this year's
theme of "The Blue and the Gray."
The chorus of the Minneapolis
Chapter of the Society for the
Preservation and Encouragement
of Barber Shop Quartet Singing
in America and six quartets from
the Twin City area will present
the first half of the program.
Three guest quartets have been
engaged for the first half of the
show: the Confederates from Mem-phis,
Tenn., the Schmitt Brothers
from Two Rivers, Wis., and the
Hut Four.
Proceeds from the Parade of
Quartets will be donated to the
Variety club heart hospital at the
University of Minnesota.
Tickets are on sale at the Uni-versity
Artists Course ticket of-fice,
105 Northrop auditorium; the
ber committee. This group meets
periodically to discuss problems of
future growth of the campus.
Enrollment trends and trends of
Baptist General Conference growth
have been investigated. It has been
found that Bethel's population is
growing faster than the Confer-
Downtown ticket office in Minne-apolis;
and at Field-Schlicks in St.
Paul.
Thomas Honored
At River Falls
Clyde Thomas took top honors
in the after-dinner speaking con-test
at the River Falls Forensics
tournament, Jan. 17.
The subject for this meet was
"The New Congress." Finalists
were chosen in the preliminary
rounds. These three spoke after
the noon meal. The audience was
made up of debaters and other
speech participants.
Bethel speech students will tra-vel
to Eau Claire, Wis., Feb. 19-
22. This tournament will include
debate, discussion, oral interpre-tation,

ence. This means that more and
more students are attending Bethel
who are not members of the Con-ference.
Figures show that 60 per cent
of the student body is Conference
Baptist, 20 per cent is other Bap-tist,
and 20 per cent belong to
denominations other than Baptist.
Housing of the anticipated in-crease
on the present campus
would necessitate more off-campus
housing for upper classmen. In
some cases this is considered fav-orable
and in others unfavorable.
If Bethel should move, access-ability
to shopping areas, cultural
events, and job opportunities
would present a problem. Public
transportation would be an im-portant
factor. The college book-store
would have to provide all the
necessities.
At present the committee is dis-cussing
all angles of the question.
No definite decisions have been
made.

Tonight the Royals will face
Northland for the second time this
season in what Coach Gerald Healy
says should be one of the season's
toughest games.
Northland's only other loss this
season, besides their one point loss
to the Royals, was at the hands
of first-place Milton. They have
two of the league's leading scor-ers
in Arnsten and Belile, and the
Royals will have to stop Hunter,
their six foot seven inch center.
The Royals second meeting with
Pillsbury will be Feb. 16, at Pills-bury.
At 4:15 p.m., Feb. 19, North-western
of Minnesota, will invade
Bethel for the two teams' second
meeting. In this, the last confer-ence
game of the season, the Roy-als
will again have to contain
high-scoring John Van Dixhorn.
The Eagles gained a new man at
the semester break, but not much
is known about him.

Graduation has stripped the
championship aspiring Milton Wild-cats
of two regulars. They will
lase forward Al Podwell, who
holds the scoring record of 39
points in one game, and the play-maker
guard Charles Schultz. This
could leave second-place Bethel
with a chance for the crown.
Bethel Wins,
Then Loses
The Bethel Royals won a game
from Wisconsin Tech and lost a
game to the Luther Vikings of
Decorah, Iowa, on Feb. 7 and 9,
respectively.
On Saturday night, the score was
76-60. There was no upset here.
There was very little doubt from
the beginning that Bethel could
do nothing but win. Perhaps this
influenced their play. It was an
unexciting game with few high
points. John Peterson scored 11
points and Truman Turnquist, 10.
A far better looking Bethel
team lost to Luther, at Luther,
Monday night. The score was 70-
80. Five Bethel men scored 10
points or more. Truman Turnquist
and Russ Adelsman led with 13
apiece.
Turnquist was defensively out-standing
in holding one of Lu-
,ther's bigger "guns," Clay Lyon,
to six points. The Royal's fine
play made the game partially dis-appointing
to a home town crowd
who expected a landslide victory.
Between Jan. 15 and Feb. 2 the
Bethel Royals won five out of six
basketball games. Unfortunately,
the one game they lost was their
only conference loss to date.
!Milton college, defending con-ference
champions, beat Bethel 56-
54 an Jan. 23. Royal fans thought
they had a victory late in the sec-ond
half, but Milton had done too
much damage in the first half. In
the first half Milton had scored
on 42 per cent of their shots and
hadn't committed a foul for 14
minutes. Half-time score was 35-
28. Bethel held the lead twice, 43-
42 and 53-52, but couldn't keep
Milton's deadly scorers out long
enough.
Wayne Kindall scored 20 points
for Bethel. Milton's Al Podwell,
with an extremely quick left-band-ed
jump shot, scored 14 points.
Possibly most significant, at
least to Coach Healy, of the five
wins was the 76-58, Jan. 31 victory
over River Falls State. Early in
the year this same team beat
Bethel by two points at River
Falls. The element of revenge and
the fact that Bethel coach Gerry
Healy was a resident of •that Wis-consin
town for 20 years made the

win significant. In the game Keith
King grabbed more than 20 re-bounds
while Les Borms and Tru-man
Turnquist scared 17 and 16
points, respectively. Manley Olson,
the River Falls center scored 15
points.
Jan. 15 was the date of a sub-stantial
victory over Pillsbury, a
young school, new to the confer-ence.
Wayne Kindall and Lee
Bjorkland scored 14 and 12 points.
Pillsbury's Ray Pratt scored 20
points.
Late Jan. 17, the news reached a
large number of Sno-Daze en-thusiasts,
who were gathered in
the fieldhouse for films, Jack Tier-ney,
etc., that Bethel had beaten
Northland 69-68. In this game
Kindall scored 22 points and Borms
21.
On Saturday, Jan. 24, Bethel
beat Wisconsin's Northwestern, 82-
46 with Byron Lindaman and Dick
Larson hitting for 16 and 13. None
of the Northwestern players ex-ceeded
nine points in this game.
The Monday following final ex-ams,
the Royals traveled to Sioux
Falls where they beat traditional
rival ,Sioux Falls college, 72-68.
Truman Turnquist and Keith King
scored 17 and 13 points.

N'thland Plays Loop Leaders
Here Tonight Graduate Two
by C. N. Elven
We do have a good ball team you know—just thought I'd throw
this into the championship pot. Bethel still has an outside chance in
spite of the narrow loss to Milton. Hope hinges on what happens to
Milton in its three remaining league games and upon the outcome of
tonights tiff with Northland.
Royal mentor, Gerry Healy, ranks Northland the strongest team
in the league at present. He feels that his blue-gold five will have to
play their best games in the remainder of the season to come out vic-torious.
Of the five starters for Northland four are ranked tops in the
league. An added threat is the return of their former starter 6 foot 3
inch Dudley Schnakenberg. Bethel will have to play some fast, accurate
basketball.
Coach Healy feels Northland is superior to Milton because of the
addition of Schna,kenberg to the line. Milton has lost two of its most
formidable starters with winter graduation.
Although the Royals were off to a rather slow and tense start
this season, they have been given added sparkle which gives the team
added drive. The scoring punch is not as potent this year as last, but
the team rebounding has been much improved.
With one of the best games of the season under their belts,
that being against River Fails, the team is ready and willing to take
on the powerful Northland squad. Our aspirations for the title are in
the balance. If there was ever a night to watch a ball game, this is it!

BARC Work
Dedicated At
Chapel, Mon.
,Bethel's ham radio statical,
KOACY, will be dedicated during
chapel Monday, Feb. 16. Since
September the station has been in
operation.
The plan concerning the equip-ment
was to complete a one kilo-watt
amateur radio station. So
far a receiver, two transmitters,
a rotating beam antenna, and a
single side band adapter have
been purchased. Much of this
equipment has been assembled by
club members.
Financing of the equipment has
been made possible through pledges
of club members and several an-onymous
gifts in the form of cash
and radio parts by interested
members of the Baptist General
Conference. These contributions
have now nearly reached the $1,000
mark.
Future plan for equipment is
to include a 1,000 watt linear am-plifier
which, when installed, will
allow contact with foreign stations.
This will enable Bethel to keep in
close contact with foreign mission-aries.
But the construction of an ama-teur
radio station is not the main
objective of the Bethel Amateur
Radio club (BARC). The foremost
purpose is to provide Bethel col-lege
with a missions outreach via
the channels of amateur radio, ac-cording
to Francis Wheeler, fac-ulty
adviser. Objectives are:
To become a part of the Mis-sionary
Communications Service
MCS), a group of Christian radio?
amateurs that exchange and handle
missionary messages. When the
five young missionaries died by
Auca lance wounds in the jungles
of Ecuador, the MOS was on duty
to aid search parties. Contact into
this net is established regularly
on weekdays at 12:30. (Visitors
are welcome to come and observe
station operations at this time, Mr.
Wheeler said.)
To establish a training program
for all members who have not al-ready
obtained the amateur lic-ense.
This includes training in the
International Morse Code and in
the radio theory. A new training
class is being planned for the
spring semester.
To provide the means by which
BARC members can engage in
Christian service activities within
the college. These projects include
work with the public address sys-tems
both in the chapel and the
fieldhouse and recording foreign
broadcasts on magnetic tape for
the language department.

In the immortal words of Dick
Bogue:
John F. Anderson, seminary jun-ior
and chairman of the committee
for study of the seminary-college
student association relationship,
brought a recommendation to the
Senate on Jan. 12 that the Bethel
student association be divided into
two separate governmental bodies.
Presently the Student Senate
governs both the college and the
seminary. The Senate accepted
this recommendation and made a
motion that this be voted upon by
the entire student body before
March 1.
Everyone in the college and sem-inary
will have an opportunity to
vote on this matter which will
take place tentatively on Feb. 27.
During their study, the com-mittee
found the following rea-sons
why there should be a divi-sion:
a large majority of the stu-dents
contacted favored such a
division; the interests of the stu-dents

are Richard Ottoson and Ronald
Palosaari, seniors; Nils Friberg,
Robert Frykholm, and Linden Mag-nuson,
middlemen; and George
Dvirnak, junior.
Thirty-two seminarians are list-ed
on the "B" honor roll for this
same quarter. Eleven seniors, ten
middlemen, and eleven juniors are

"The Christian in an Anxious
World" is the theme of Founder's
Week, Feb. 16-20. Main speakers
will be James Forrester, vice-presi-dent
of Whitworth college; Rev.
Robert Boyd Munger, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of
Berkeley, Cal.; and Dr. Kyle M.
Yates, professor of religion at
Baylor university.
Ellis Eklof, Sr., pastor of Temple
Baptist church in Portland, Ore.,
will be the speaker at the Histori-cal
Buffet Banquet on Monday
night. This annual event is the
first gathering of Founders Week
guests and the Bethel faculty and
student body.
Each evening at 7:30 there will
be a rally in the fieldhouse. Tues-day
Rev. Munger will be speaking
and the Male chorus will provide
special music. "Christ's Change-less
Challenge" will be the topic
of Dr. Yates' message Wednes-vision,
financial policy, admini-strative
relations and actual pro-ceedings
for the change.
If this vote should affirm a
split, there would be several dif-ferent
possibilities for the Stialedit
Association. These possibilities will
be discussed at a forum to be held
previous to the vote and in spe-cial
chapel sessions.
Students in the class were: Bar-bara

One of the problems was to use
textures from nature; they were
to be pasted on a large board. The

will sing during this session.
Thursday Mr. Forrester will
speak on the topic "Personal Stress
and a Relevant Gospel." Music
will be provided by the College
choir.
"One Hundred Years with God's
Promises," a Minnesota Baptist
historical pageant, will be pre-sented
on Friday evening. This
play depicts the history of the
Minnesota Conference Baptist
work in various scenes from its
beginning to the present day. The
cast of 136 participants is made
up of members from the various
churches in Minnesota.
Mr. Forrester, a former Air
Force chaplain, will lecture in the
morning, 8:45-9:25, on the subject
"The Christian Ministry to Dis-tressed
People." Each morning he
will present a different view of
this problem.
Rev. Munger will be preaching
at the all-campus worship services
to be held in the fieldhouse.
Dr. Yates will bring a series of
messages on the book of Hosea
during the first afternoon session
each day.
In addition to these sessions,
there will also be elective lectures
each morning and special interest
groups each afternoon.

basic idea was touch and see.
Some of the materials used were
leaves, gravel, dirt, flowers, break-fast
food, pins, rubber bands, bur-lap,
bark, sponge, candies, and
wool.
Another problem was to use tex:
tures from magazines of printed
elements. In this problem no feel
at all was to be involved. The stu-dents
chose objects which had
third dimension such as: a string
of pearls, a tassel, a fan, soap
'bubbles, and cherries.
Another of the problems was to
cut photographs of the figure on
a module basis. The class had to
re-arrange the figures in new re-lationships.
The parts were fitted
together to make a new total. They
were closed with the two kinds of
'closure both positive and nega-tive—
either wide apart or lying
next to one another.
,Subject matter of the second
semester is mainly on space, form,
line, and color according to in-structor
Robert Nelson. They hope
to have another display at the end
of the semester.
Common John, who heard
that the student center at Bethel
college had possibilities as the
scene of inexpensive cultural op-portunities
to present in the
"Square Corner," was confronted
by this design display, in itself a
design. John enjoyed inspecting
the work of Robert Nelson's de-sign
students, who have made use
of various and sundry articles of
two and three dimensional form
to solve design problems.

Claude Strudel was excitedly
talking to Thayer Sedgewiek, one
his_inany_ friends, when _Seldon
Artichoke, the other of his many
friends, walked up.
"Wat'dha guys doing," said Sel-don,
who, by virtue of a D— in
English, was destined to leave the
ranks of probation for a job of
$2.74 an hour.
The noise of breaking dishes
added a pleasant background of
music while at the front of the
coffee shop a man with a gray
beard waited for a hamburger
"with." Claude leaned back and
looked at Se/don.
"Seldon, old friend, I have rea-lized
that I am letting the chance
for education slip through my
fingers. I have come to realize the
culprit is the coffee shop. If I
went to class instead of spending
my time here, I, too, would re-ceive
an education.
"The other morning I went to
my eight o'clock class."
"How ghastly!" said Thayer and
Seldon in unison.
"I realized," said Claude," that
the classroom was the place to get
an education. I made a list of the
valuable educational facts learn-ed:
"The Great Pyramid of Gizeh
covers an area of 13 acres and con-tains
2,300,000 blocks of lime-stone.
"Nero was born at Antium on
Dec. 15, A.D. 37. He was named
Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus.
"Nero did not fiddle during the
fire, for the violin had not yet
been invented.
"Charlemagne was born A.D.
742, the son of Pippin the Short
and Bertha the Big Feet.
"Shakespeare's plays were either
written by Shakespeare or another
fellow with the same name.
"On the other hand," said Claude
glancing about significantly, "I
have taken the trouble to list the
insignificant bits of stray infor-mation
that I received in the cof-fee
shop the other day. Anyone
can see how paltry these are com-pared
to class notes.
"There is a little screw to turn
on carburetors that can greatly in-crease
gas mileage and thus save
much money.
"K. C. Cornelius can save me
about $50 on a diamond ring in
case I decide I need the financial
help of a wife to further my edu-cation.
"If a test looms too dangerous-ly,
a cup of very hot coffee taken
before going to the infirmary
should raise your temperature
enough to bring a day's rest there.

Ashley Montague defines a cul-tured
man by the use he makes of
leisure time. In a Christian cul-ture,
the University becomes an
emporium of leisure where devo-tion
to great ideals is possible. It
centers in a community of scholars
who once more become men of lei-sure
to think and reflect. Apart
from the quest for imaginative
learning, there is no culture, nor
leisure, nor Christian dynamic.
In every discipline of our aca-demic
world, books epitomize our
search for truth. A cultured Chris-tian
is one who has learned to uni-fy
all of life from the books he
may read in his leisure time. Tho-mas
Merton has a trenchant cri-tique
of the pseudo-scholar who
lingers in the "labrythine ways of
his own mind" and the maze of
scholastic pedantry.
Great though books may be,
they are no substitute for persons;
they are only means of contact
with great persons (with men who
had more than their own share of
humanity ...men who were per-sons
...).
Ideas and words are not the

It's an interesting room — a

end of which stands a Greco-Ro-man
column supporting a statuette
of Hermes forms the entrance to
the 12 tables in the room proper.
Each table holds a low-lit candle.
At the far end as you come in (if
in so compact, a space anywhere
can be called far) stands a high,
short counter where sits the es-presso
coffeemaker.
The art work around the walls
include a Rembrandt: "Man with
the Golden Helmet," a sculptured
head of Medussa, a tapestry de-picting
a scene probably of Venice,
and an early anachronistic illus-tration
from "Illustree," a French
fashion magazine.
Operator of the coffee machine

"Political science and history
majors can not expect any good
results from wearing 'I Like Ike'
buttons to class."
Claude paused and looked at the
clock. "Thayer, we have again
missed religious education. Our
passion for the coffee shop will
undo us yet."
"You're right, Claude," said
Thayer. "Let us go and shoot bas-kets.

Claude as they prepared to leave.

—during the Renaissance period,
rich cafe owners, in addition to
catering to the nutritive needs of
their clientele, built expensively

At the Cafe, unknown groups

a play or give recitations; un-known
authors and poets are given
a chance to express themselves

Do you have the mid winter
blues like I do ? Every morning
you cringe as you crawl towards
your closet and force yourself to
look in. Strange how those fine
clothes of September can look
shop-worn and shabby by January
and February. You not only won-der
how you can ever create an
ensemble for that day, but you
think with amazement of the fact
that you have found something to
wear this long. Perhaps it will be
of some consolation to you to
learn that psychologists say this
is a very normal thing about this
time of year. Climate has a def-inite
effect on our bodies. Even
though many of us are great fans
of the blustery northern winters
and scream with delight at the
sight of snow, our bodies are un-der
a strain, and we come closer
to fatigue and frustration than at
any other time of the year.
Just because the psychologists
say it's normal doesn't mean It's
our invitation to say, "Thank
goodness, I'm normal," and go on
our grumpy way, hating the way
we look, and making everyone else
miserable by telling them so. Let's

psydholagy of our own. A little
psychology plus a few novel ideas
should give the old clothes some
new personality.
Here's the psychology — jump
out of bed. Run to your closet.
Push back the door, and let the
first start of delight fade into an
apprehensive smile, torn between
the joy at viewing that fabulous
collection of "Dior originals" and
the distress of having to pick one
to wear thereby rejecting all the
others 'til another day. Be brave
at this point. (How confusing for
us that tears can denote joy, or
sadness, or disappointment.)
Perhaps you aren't an advocate
of psychology and though you
want with all sincerity to over-come
this dreaded malady called
mid-winter blues, you see this ap-proach
as not fully practical. Well,
your only salvation lies in the
application of a few pick-me-ups.
If your roommate wasn't sharp
tentialism followed by one of
Sartre's plays portraying exis-tentialist
views of hell and a dis-course
on poetry to jazz accom-paniment
from a Beatnik, yet.
This "private Ford Foundation,"
as Dud amusingly sees it, is an
aid to experimental theater that
otherwise would never be recog-nized
locally.
At the present time such enter-tainment
at the cafe is intermit-tent.
However, when the small
theater in the back room is com-pleted
the Riggs plan to have per-formances
every two weeks—pos-sibly
every week. These programs
will be free, but those who wish
to attend must first place reserva-tions.
To reach Renaissance take a
left from Hennepin (going toward
Minneapolis) onto University. The
Cafe is in the first block on the
right—number "18." It is open
every night except Monday, 6
p.m. to 2 a.m.
enough to get my December hint
about a •subscription to a good
fashion magazine for Christmas
(I'm still trying for your birth-day)
I'll tell you what the experts
are advising.
The big thing is a small well-shaped
jacket. This can change a-round
several outfits. Don't for-get
the many different fabrics
these come in and above all re-member
the bright colors—they do
wonders for any outfit and even
more for the morale. Don't get
into a rut as to what goes with
what. If you hit upon an espec-ially
good combination, don't for-get
it, but don't lose your mind
to change abouts. If you have
just a little money to invest, how
about an extra wide belt, a big,
colorful flower, or a flower pin.
(Just a hint—these are the acces-sories
that will bloom this spring.)
Maybe psychology and pick-me-ups
aren't enough to chase away
your mid-winter blues, but I hope
that if you were navy or royal
blue you have faded to a pastel
shade!
The 'Unfortunates':
A Consideration
At the outset of the new semester Bethel is found with some new
faces and without some old faces. This is a semi-annual occurence
and is to be expected. However, this semester is somewhat different.
Several students were told not to return to their studies because they
had not lived up to their requirements as students on academic proba-tion.
The absence of these students is especially noticeable because this
is the mid-year. Such an occurence taking place over the summer vaca-tion
would pass nearly unnoticed except to those close to the students
in question.
Because of the sincerity of a number of these students, their ap-parent
inability has made an impact at Bethel. Concern for one's fellows
makes sympathizing with them fairly easy, and sympathy under the
(right conditions promotes a harsh view of the circumstances which pro-duce
it.
Specifically, those students who recognized a real attempt in the
scholastic realm by some of the "non-returners" might easily criticize
the administration's understanding of the real picture. Such criticism
is the type that is often hastily expressed. Unfavorable impressions
might easily be farmed and allowed to snowball unless certain facts are
clarified.
Exposition of a few situations and purposes might be helpful.
All of the students on academic probation last semester were
warned that they would have to attain a certain grade point average
in order to continue. So, each person was fully aware of his responsibility
to himself. The very purpose of the probation system is to protect the
student by providing him with incentive in the form of warning. When
a person is placed on probation it is to give him a goal to reach as a
step to the eventual 1.0 grade point average necessary for graduation.
A failure to reach one level does not mean that extra effort at a
later time will not compensate, but it does mean that realization of
the final goal will be extremely difficult.
!Therefore, the administration is justified and is even to be com-mended
for its interest in the student. It has not made an attempt to
be "hard" and "cold" and "demanding."
Important to remember are the facts that "such things have hap-pened
before and will no doubt happen again" and do not cast a neces-sarily
unfavorable shadow upon those involved.
